Global Warming

Temp. has increase by 1.4°F

Effects of Global Warming

Polar ice caps will melt

Disease will spread

Intensity of droughts and heat waves will increase

Greenhouse GasesCarbon dioxide Methane

Nitrous oxide Ozone

Water vapor

Carbon

Diamond

Graphite

Amorphous Carbon

Photosynthesis

Will increasing carbon dioxide in water with plants increase

glucose production?

Hypothesis

A higher concentration of carbon dioxide will positively affect the plant and increase glucose production

Variables

Independent- The amount of carbon dioxide in the water

Dependent- The amount of glucose produced

Constant- Amount of water in beakers (450ml), type of plant, both beakers contained a thermometer

Control- Beaker with 350 cc of carbon dioxide

Materials

ExperimentBeaker 1-350cc9 times stronger

Beaker 2- 4200cc107 times stronger

Analysis1 tablet=4,000 ml 350cc=1 tablet 350cc=4,000 ml

Beaker One Beaker Two

4,000 ml / 450 ml= 9 48000 ml / 450 ml= 107

350cc=4,000ml 350cc x 12= 4,200cc

350cc=450 ml 4,200cc=48,000 ml

4,200cc= 450 ml

Conclusion

My hypothesis was correct

•But the concentration

was not kept constant

• Our pH levels do not

my finding in research

Future Experiment

How would high concentrations of carbon dioxide in water effect the fish living in the water?

Look into Co2 and pH more

Co2 + H20 <--> H2Co3
